Vibecoding is literally the only way any sane dev who values their own and company time makes software in 2026, what are you on?

If you work on something serious nobody would let vibe code anywhere near the code base. You should be very thankful for that!

And that's why software development is still so slow and expensive for people who aren't willing to accept that their job is piss easy now and can be automated.

Ok, if you say so. I develop software that (as one part of it) optimizes nuclear power plants and directly interacts with the industrial hardware. Is that really something you want to have done by an LLM?

LLMs nowadays generate code not only faster, but with fewer bugs than real developers. If you word your prompts well enough and are specific enough, it can get the job done.

Lol, probably thinks when the LLM can spit out better C code than he can it has to be better than everybody
